This is a viewfinder camera, it does not have a built in rangefinder. In addition to the viewfinder having a brightline for the 44mm lens, the viewfinder will also display the word "WIND" when the film needs to be advanced; the advance lever is fitted to the base. The camera does not come with a built in exposure meter. The shutter will not fire unless film is loaded into the camera. Originally made between 1957-1959, the camera sold for a list price of $55.00 USD.
